Best wholesale supplier for Google Pixel 8 refurbished housings?
I'm on the lookout for a reliable wholesale supplier for refurbished housings specifically for the Google Pixel 8. Our shop has been getting a fair number of repairs for this model lately, and I want to ensure that the parts we use are both high-quality and cost-effective. So far, I've been sourcing from a couple of vendors, but I've had mixed results with quality and return policies. If anyone has recommendations based on their experience, I would love to hear about the pricing, quality, and RMA policies for the suppliers you're using. Thanks in advance!

I highly recommend checking out 'TechParts Direct'. I've been using them for my Pixel 8 refurb housings, and they’ve been fantastic. Their prices are competitive—around $25 per housing—but what really stands out is their RMA policy. They offer a 30-day return on any defective parts, which has saved me a lot of hassle. Their quality has been consistently good, and I’ve had no issues with fit or finish on the housings. I would also suggest using a reliable inventory management software like RepairShopper to keep track of your parts and orders, which helps streamline the process.
I've had some success with 'PartsKing', but their prices are slightly higher, usually around $30 per housing. The quality is decent, but I've experienced a few returns. Their RMA process can be slow, which has caused some delays in my repairs. I’ve also been looking into other suppliers, but TechParts Direct seems to be the go-to for most shops I’ve talked to. Just make sure to vet any new suppliers thoroughly, as quality can vary wildly in this business.
